Waterbabies offers a fun and safe environment for children to develop confidence in and around water, as well as the motor skills necessary to swim. The primary goal of this swimming programme starting from 6-month infants up to 3-year-old toddlers is to ensure that children have a good understanding of water safety. Various games, activities, and songs are used to make learning enjoyable. The classes also encourage interaction between children and parents and allow the children to practise their skills without supervision.
Waterbabies lessons are 30 minutes long, with a child-to-teacher ratio of 7 to 1.
INFANTS / 6 months to 10 months
For babies who have never participated in a swimming session before, the Infant programme is the first stage of our Waterbabies programme, developing water confidence and safety for children, parents and caregivers. Babies learn with the help of songs, games and water toys while developing an enjoyment of being in the water.
WADDLERS/ 10 months to 18 months
This second stage of the Waterbabies programme aims to further develop water confidence and safety for children, parents and caregivers. The children learn everything with the help of songs, games and water toys, now recognising colours and different shapes.
TODDLERS 1/ 18 months to 36 months
This third stage works on developing water confidence and safety with a focus on strengthening submerging, floating, gliding and kicking skills. As in previous stages, the children learn everything with the help of songs, games and water toys.
TODDLERS 2/- 30 months to 36 months
This final stage of the Waterbabies programme encourages children to develop independence in submerging, floating, gliding and kicking, combining breath control and movement.
